4. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Proposed 2005 - 2010 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) and Arterial Street
Improvement Plan (ASIP) - Mr. Perez presented the staff report to the Committee.
The Committee discussed concerns with the projects listed on the TIP. Committee Member Faison
specifically referenced his concerns with projects 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15 & 22 because of double-left turn lanes.
Mr. Perez cited the difficulty of providing enough time for left-turn, pedestrian, and through movements
while meeting the adopted level of services standards overall cycle length of 120 seconds. The most viable
option is to provide double left turn movements so that through traffic and pedestrians have adequate time
to move through intersections. Mr. Perez also mentioned installing more roundabouts instead of signalized
intersections and/or modifying the adopted level of services standards to increase the length of acceptable
signal cycles.
The Committee inquired about how many of the projects were necessary for safety improvements. Mr.
Perez answered that most, if not all, the projects included safety improvements - especially those on Hwy
99. The Committee discussed the funding status for each of the projects on the TIP.
The Committee inquired about impacts to the City Center Access Study if it were delayed by the budget. Mr.
Perez answered that the study has a shelf life of three years once a preferred alternative is identified. The
Committee summarized that the main objective of publishing these projects is so that legislators and elected
officials more readily recognize them when funding is requested.
Chair Dovey recused himself from voting on this item since he is directly impacted by one of the projects,
Pacific Hwy South HOV Lanes Phase III.
The Committee m/s/c to place the staff recommendation on the November 2, 2004 Council Consent Agenda.
B. Code Compliance Briefing - This item was pulled from the agenda. It was recommended that it be
moved to the November 2, 2004 full City Council Emerging Issues Agenda.
C. Annexation Policy Issues - Mr. Conlen presented the staff report to the Committee. Mr. Conlen
requested direction from the Committee, based upon the options and recommendations presented in his
staff report. The Committee approved the following options:
Item 1:
Item 2:
Item 3:
Item 4:
D. Ventana Final Plat -
Effective Date of Annexations (Timing) - Approved Option 2; January 1, 2005,
provided King County is able to review and approve the interlocal agreement by that
date. If the County is not ready by January 1, 2004, staff recommends the effective
date be no later than February 28, 2005.
Nonconforming Sign Policy- Approved Option 3; Require non-conforming signs to
come into compliance by a specified deadline from the effective date of annexation,
consistent with current requirements of FWCC Section 22-335.
Money from King County - The Committee requested that staff approach King
County to inquire about the methods they are using to allocate the $10,000,000
incentive. If the funds will be disbursed based on the percentage of area annexed,
then request that amount. Otherwise, the Committee would approve Option 2 -
Request funds equal to the City's annexation processing and start-up costs (estimated
at $50,000 - $100,000).
Review Responsibility for Vested Permitting Actions- Approved Option 1; Allow
the County to continue processing all vested land use and building permits. The
Committee clearly emphasized a desire to control permitting at the earliest date
possible. All permits applied for prior to the effective date will be processed by King
County. The City will control all permits applied for after the effective date.
Mr. Patrick Redmond asked that the Committee deny approval of this project based upon his claim that the
developer has not met the requirements of the Hearing Examiner. Specifically, Mr. Redmond contends that
the developer was required to construct a retaining wall bordering the rear of his property. Instead, the
developer left a 20-foot wall of dirt that he feels is extremely unsightly. Mr. Redmond stated that he feels
the City has been misled and that the Committee is misinformed of the project status. Mr. Redmond
requested that Committee and Council members visit his property prior to approving this plat so that they
can observe the conditions he claims exit.
Mr. Carl Hanson spoke on behalf of his friends, the Condos, who are out of town and unable to speak on
their own behalf in opposition to this project. The Condos feel that the boundary lines are misrepresented
on the King County short plat submitted by the Condos as number 8528. tñe property owners contend that
the installation of the drainage line has been installed on the Condos private property and request mitigation
so that litigation is not necessary.
Mr. Michael Condos, a property owner on SW 305 also spoke against the project and contends that the
repaving of SW 30Sh now extends two feet onto his private property and over his underground power lines.
Mr. Condos claims that he just had the property surveyed, and that the City's survey is incorrect. 7ñerefore,
Mr. Condos warns that the project should not be passed.
Mrs. Jan Craig who lives at the corner of 5W 304h and 24" SW spoke to the Committee regarding the loss of
trees and the wind direction change caused by removing 200 trees in Ventana. Mrs. Craig claims that she
lost five ornamental trees estimated at $5,000 by an arborist. Mrs. Craig further requested aeration of the
drainage pond to avert the threat of mosquitoes.
Mr. Don Bunger lives on SW 30tfh Place. Mr. Bunger requested aeration of the pond. Mr. Bunger feels that
a $3,000 pump, connected to the power source near the pond, would alleviate the stagnant water and
diminish the threat of a mosquito habitat
Mr. Tom Barghausen, with Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. made the Committee aware of his
presence and his willingness to answer any questions the Committee might have.
G:ILUTCILUTC Agendas and Summaries 200410ctober 18. 2004 LUTC Minutes doc
Ms. Barker gave the staff report to the Committee, including visual presentation materials. The Committee
discussed the claims of the citizens at the beginning of this agenda item. Mr. Miller, Deputy Public Works
Director addressed the concerns of Mr. Redmond, Mr. Condos, and Ms. Bunger. In regards to Mr. Redmond,
Mr. Miller explained that staff felt the change in the retaining wall to a slope was not a significant issue
because it was a suitable solution to the drainage issue and the plans were previously approved on a
preliminary basis. Staff explained that plans often change from the preliminary plat to the final plat.
The Committee requested that Mr. Barghausen address the concerns raised by citizens earlier in the evening.
Mr. Barghausen replied that the drainage pond had been built to City code and that the City could certainly
exercise the option to install its own aeration/fountain device, as it will ultimately be responsible for
maintaining and servicing the device. Mr. Barghausen did not feel that he could specifically address the loss
of the ornamental trees, as he did not have enough first hand knowledge about the claim by Mrs. Craig, but
felt her concerns would not be unrealistic. The funneling of wind toward the Craig property will eventually
be resolved when the homes are built, thereby buffering the property from wind. Regarding the claims by
the Condos, Mr. Barghausen stated that there is a difference of opinion about the validity of the Condos
surveys completed by the Condos. There are three recorded surveys that agree within half a foot of each
other about the location of the property corners. The Condos' survey, which locates the property line 16 feet
from the recorded property line, is a duplicate of a survey completed in 1971, but never recorded. This issue
is a private issue between two property owners, and may eventually be settled in court. However, this
dispute should not be considered a reason to deny approval on this plat.
Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. did not submit the preliminary plat drawings. Mr. Barghausen's
understanding is that the preliminary plat is just that - no engineering has been completed; the preliminary
plat simply shows that the project can feasibly be built and shows the basic functions of the plat. The
condition in questions reads, ". . . if a retaining wall is required. . ." and not "a retaining wall shall be
required." Later, when reviewing the plans, it was determined that the best thing would be to install a slope,
which is safer, better for drainage, is grassed in and becomes the part of someone's yard. Trees will still be
planted at the bottom of the slope, and would often be viewed to be more aesthetically pleasing than a rock
retaining wall. The slope has been grassed in for a year, and was built under the supervision of a
geotechnical engineer with engineered fill. The slope wintered very well and has not shown any problems,
not even surface failures. A 2:1 slope that has proven itself by wintering well should not be considered a
concern.
The Committee inquired about the options they have at this point. Mr. Fewins answered that the Committee
must either find that the project is in significant compliance (not total or full, but significant) and therefore
approve the plat, or find that the project is not in significant compliance and then deny approval of the plat.
The decision is at the Council's discretion.
After significant discussion about the slope bordering the Redmond property, Chair Dovey suggested
forwarding the item to the November 2, 2004 City Council Consent Agenda, and use the time in the interim
to personally research the Hearing Examiner's findings, and visit the Redmond property. Chair Dovey
expressed that moving the item forward would keep the project on schedule, and allow ample time to
research the issues with the project.
Staff shall provide the following information at the November 2, 2004 Council meeting:
a. Hearing Examiner's recommendation on preliminary plat
b. Pictures of the Redmond Property and the current condition of the pond.
c. A list of other concerned property owners, if known.
At the direction of the Committee, staff shall also provide a presentation at a future LUTC meeting to review
the Hearing Examiner process.
Committee Member Park made the following motion: -
"Move the staff recommendation for the purpose of fO/warding to the full Council and we
can take look at its issues within two weeks. If there is uncertainty involved, then we can
delay final decision at the second Council meeting. That is my recommendation. "
The motion was seconded and carried.

OCTOBER 2004
~ SOUND TRANSIT,
Building a regional mass transit system
....
Planning for the future
With the initial pieces of a regional mass transit system
now moving more than 35,000 people a day, Sound Transit
is looking at ways to meet our region's future growth
and transportation demands. puget Sound is expected to
grow b'y 1.2 million people over the next 20 years and
getting around is going to be more challenging than ever.
That's why Sound Transit is updating environmental and
transportation studies from the '90s to see how regional
mass transit improvements can help keep us moving and
manage future growth. A draft supplemental environmental
impact statement will be released in November and
available to the public for comment and suggestions.

Sound Transit will finalize those studies in the spring of '05
and use those results to update the agency's Long-Range
Plan for a regional transportation system. The long-Range
Plan, first adopted in 1996, is the region's "roadmap" for
what the future system will look like.
Off to a good start
Back in 1996 Puget Sound citizens voted to build the first
phase of a new region-wide mass transit system connecting
our largest cities and job centers with light rail, commuter
rail and express bus services. Sound Transit was given the
job of building this system in keeping with the long-Range
Plan that looked at where we work, live and how we're
going to grow in the decades ahead.
With 10,000 new park-and-ride spaces filled every weekday,
commuter trains and express buses running up and down
Central puget Sound, light rail in Tacoma carrying thousands
a day and a major light rail system under construction in
Seattle, Sound Transit is delivering on that first assignment.
In the process, Sound Transit has carried more than 34
million passengers on our buses and trains over the last five
years. We have built the foundations of that first phase of
our regional transit system and it is connecting more than
35,000 people a day with their jobs, loved ones, sporting
events and homes.
. link light rail - Tacoma Link has already carried more
than 800,000 riders since opening in August, 2003.
Major construction worth $1 billion is underway on
Central Link in Seattle.
. Sounder commuter rail - Sounder has already served
2 + million riders on 82 miles of track between Everett
and Tacoma.
. Regional Express bus service - Sound Transit regional
Express buses have carried more than 30 million riders
on 19 express bus routes connecting the region: Issaquah
to Seattle; Federal Way to Bellevue; lakewood to Sea-Tac
Airport; Woodinville, Redmond, Gig Harbor to Seattle.
. Transit Centers, HOV ramps, Park & Ride lots -
Sound Transit has invested more than $850 million in
new park-and-ride lots, direct access ramps and transit
centers.

Phase 2: The next generation
With updated environmental studies and a Long-Range Plan
that accounts for new growth, Sound Transit will continue
working with the public to set priorities for Phase 2 - the
next s~t of investments in our regional mass transit system.
Thes,e Phase 2 projects will build directly on the system that
is up and running today to create more options for getting
you where you need to go.
Sound Transit will work extensively with the public to set
priorities on a wide range of Phase 2 options, including:
. extending light rail and commuter rai/lines
. adding more bus rapid transit facilities, like transit
centers, or adding new routes
. increasing hours of operation for all services
. determining the best technologies for moving people
where they need to go in the next phase
Sound Transit will develop Phase 2 priorities with input from
the public, local cities and counties, elected officials, civic
groups, planning groups, and our transit partners among
others. Once the priorities are finalized, the Sound Transit
Board will adopt the Phase 2 plan, scheduled for mid-2006.

SUBJECT:
POLICY QUESTION:
Should Surface Water Management continue with design of the East Branch Lakota Creek Restoration Project in
accordance with the SWM Capital Facilities Plan approved by the Council in 2002?
BACKGROUND:
This project restores approximately 2,625 lineal feet of the East Branch of Lakota Creek from the mouth of the
creek, upstream to SR 509 at Lakota Park (the upstream limit); including an unnamed tributary (hereafter referred
to as the North Tributary), an approximately 500-foot-Iong right-bank tributary. Several fish passage
impediments will be eliminated; selected stream banks stabilized, and fish habitat structures added. In addition,
stormwater flows will be tight lined from the upper end of the North Tributary to the East Branch to reduce
channel erosion in the North Tributary and reduce sediment input to the East Branch.
The LUTC Committee approved the 30% design stage of the project on January 12,2004. This memo provides a
brief synopsis of the progress to date. Currently, the project design is approximately 85% complete and includes
the following completed tasks:
.
The Topographical Survey and Mapping
Hydrological and Hydraulic Analysis
Stream Geomorphology Assessment
Fish Use, Passage, and Habitat Assessment
JARP A and Biological Evaluation Determination and Section 404 Permitting

SUBJECT: CITY CENTER ACCESS STUDY - BRIEFING NO.4
Screening Level 2 Results & Options to Move Forward to Screening Level 3
POLICY QUESTION:
Should the options, as presented from the Level 2 screening and endorsed by both the Core Support and
Stakeholder Teams, continue to Screening Level 3?
BACKGROUND:
The City of Federal Way, in conjunction with our project partners, the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT), Federal Highways Administration (FHW A), Puget Sound Regional Council
(PSRC), and the additional supporting agencies (the "Core Team") are perfonning a feasibility study to
detennine viable access solutions to the safety issues and the congestion at the interchange of S 320th Street
and Interstate 5 access to the Federal Way City Center.
The interchange is experiencing significant congestion for many hours of the day and is currently at capacity.
If a successful and viable access solution is found, Federal Way will proceed in developing an Access Point
Decision Report (APDR) to submit to the WSDOT. With City and State approval the report would go to the
FHW A. An APDRis the initial step required by FHW A before changing an interstate highway interchange.
This is the fourth in a series of Land Use and Transportation Committee (LUTC) briefing updates of the
current schedule and milestones accomplished to date for the project. The previous three briefings included:
Briefint! No.1. December 15.2003:
Presented the Public Involvement and Communications Plan, the Project Work Plan, the Purpose and
Need statement, the project issues map, and the study area of the project.
Briefint! No.2. April 5. 2004:
Provided an update from project beginning to the development of 47 project alternatives in this
project study.
Briefint! No.3. Aut!ust 16.2004:
Presented 15 options retained for further evaluation, analysis, and scoring.
Briefing No.4 Presents the Following:
. 15 options evaluated at Level 2 Screening
. Level 2 Screening results - overview of Technical Memorandum No.9 (TM 9)
. Core Support Team recommendations for options to forward for further evaluation with input from
the public, Stakeholder Team, and staff.
. Stakeholder Team issues/concerns
. Transit issues/concerns
. Staff recommendations
LEVEL 2 SCREENING EVALUATIONS - REFINED CONCEPTS:
The Levell Screening recommended, and Council approved, that a total of 15 options (including four local,
seven modified interchange, and four new interchange concepts) be retained for more detailed evaluation in

CORE SUPPORT TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS:
The history of scoring options can be found in Exhibit 2. The Core Support Team recommends the following
options:
Spot Intersection
Improvements
No Build 2030
H4 and J5
C2Vl
D2V4
Local improvements at failing intersections throughout the City of Federal Way
study area
The current City Comprehensive Plan and surrounding regional plan that includes
the widening of the S 320lh Street interchange and the S 312th Street Bridge
crossing 1-5.
A combined local option for a one-way ring road couplet configuration clockwise
around the City Center Core and a local improvement option of a new bridge
crossing 1-5 at S 324th Street.
Modifications to the S 320th Street interchange gaining access to 1-5 at S 312th
Street.
Modifications to the S 320th Street interchange with new access at the S 324th
Street area.
The C2V2 modification to the S 320th Street interchange gaining access to 1-5 at S 31th Street and also near
the City of Federal Way Park & Ride near S 324th Street was suggested as a design refinement if the study
moves forward to the environmental process. The Core Support Team recommended that the impacts of
access at S 31th Street and S 324th Street be evaluated separately, whereas the C2V2 option includes access
at both locations.
Stakeholder Team Issues/Concerns:
Meeting minutes are attached as Exhibit 3, detailing the Stakeholder Team's issues and concerns. The
majority of these concerns are related to the access and the crossing of 1-5 at South 31th Street.

STAKEHOLDER TEAM MEETING #8
Wednesday October 13,2004; I2:00 - 1 :30 PM
Amended 10/29/04
Meeting Minutes
PRESENTERS:
Maryanne Zukowski, P.E (City Staff)
ATTENDEES: Kurt Reuter, Dini Duclos, Don Perry, Sandy Paul-Lyle, David Kaplan, Hope Elder, Ron
Nowicki, Geoffrey Kelly, Steve Rapp, Eric Stavney, Lisa Cooke-Tinsley (new member addition to be
approved on October 19th), Bob Griebenow (member of the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce
assisting with Dini Duclos as the Chamber), and Ken Miller, P.E. (Staff).
The Stakeholder group represents a wide and full range of interest and expertise. That experience ranges
from former council members, ex-City Managers, City staff, Public Safety & Fire Department
representatives, Chamber of Commerce President, business owners, private interest groups, and citizens.
Please note there are a total of 14 voting members on record for the meeting date of October 13th, 2004. In
attendance were 10 voting members representing a majority representation of the team at this meeting.
Those not in attendance at the meeting were Cindy Wendland of the Federal Way School District
Transportation Division, Fire Chief Allen Church of the Federal Way Fire Department, Officer Andy Hwang of
the City of Federal Way Police Department, and Jan Gibson representing Weyerhaeuser interests. Members
that were not in attendance will need to contact Maryanne directly for any concerns and issues based on the
voting of the majority of the team.
Staff member Darlene LeMaster was missed from the meeting as she was assisting the United Way Event
for the City. Staff would like to thank Darlene for all of her assistance in organizing lunch and materials
for the stakeholder team meeting.
Summary:
Meeting commenced at 12:00 PM and ended at 1:30 PM. Lunch was served as introductions and
housekeeping items were attended to, and those housekeeping items were:
.
New member addition to the stakeholder team that was sent to the City Council for approval on
October 19th, 2004.
.
E-mail request from Chuck O'Donnell that was sent out to all team members for the addition of an
options to the current list of options currently endorsed by the group and the resignation of Chuck
O'Donnell from the team.
.
TM9 revisions.
.
Weighting of the three scoring sections of Transportation Benefit, Impacts to the Built
Environment, and Impacts to the Natural Environment.
.
Core support team meeting update/summary from their meeting on October 12th, 2004. Update of
scoring of the 15 options.
Lisa Cooke-Tinsley was introduced to the team as the first order of business.
Maryanne discussed the proposed additional option from Chuck O'Donnell as presented in his e-mail dated
10/10/04 and discussed with the group that the LUTC already has made a decision that no additional options
are to be brought forward as the budget will not allow additional funds to the project, the timing of the request
would also compromise the current contract work in progress, and the scope of the request is far out of the
range of the specific scope of this current study. Although Mr. O'Donnell has contributed a lot of time,
commitment, and thought to his proposal the request is out of the range of this groups scope. Maryanne asked
the group for any concerns or additional comments on this proposal. The consensus of the group was not to
move forward on this request.
TM9 corrections and addendums were handed out to the group. A few of the team members voiced strongly
their dissatisfaction with this process and the change out of materials. Which made this more cumbersome is
that the copies collated by Kinko's were mismatched and out of sort. It was explained to the group that
Maryanne has collected all the changes over the past month and removed all unneeded change out of materials
so there would be one change out. Since these materials would be cumbersome to mail and also confusing to
change out, Maryanne instead wanted to walk through the change out of materials in their books. It was voiced
very much from the team members their dissatisfaction of this time to proceed with this iteration and was also
concerned that they had already read these materials and now they have to digest more infonnation after they
have removed the originals. Maryanne stated that anyone who needs their book changed out may leave it with
her or come to city hall and we can change out the book pages together. There was voiced a concern that the
core team that also changes out their materials are paid for their time, and the stakeholders are volunteers to this
project and have jobs. Maryanne asked for suggestions from the group to better assist in this process for the
change out of material addition and corrections to TM9 and future TM' s. It was stated to the team that staff is
currently working with the consultant on a better QAlQC program. Maryanne stated that all additional materials
to TM9 would be additions and not change out of materials.
The Hierarchy (percentage assignment sheets to the scoring criteria) sheet was handed out and some members
are missing this sheet, as Kinko's did not copy it for all sets. The weighting of the three scoring sections of
Transportation Benefit, Impacts to the Built Environment, and Impacts to the Natural Environment was
explained as being detennined by the Support Core Team. The team had questions on how this was detennined
and was explained by staff that this was through negotiations with the team.
City Staff presented:
Transportation Benefit
Impacts to the Built Environment
Impacts to the Natural Environment
WSDOT/FHW AlCH2Mhill
Transportation Benefit
Impacts to the Built Environment
Impacts to the Natural Environment
Through negation the final approval went out as:
Transportation Benefit
Impacts to the Built Environment
Impacts to the Natural Environment
(40%)
(35%)
(25%)
(70%)
(15%)
(15%)
(60%)
(25%)
(15%)
Staff conceded to the reduction since there are many more sets and subsets of criteria under the transportation
benefit section that reduced the percentages in those categories. The other percentages had similar negations
and limited consensus to reach agreement.
Maryanne presented an update from the core support team on October 12th, 2004. The update of scoring of the
15 options and the reduction of options to a contract amount of 3. The final selections did not reach a consensus
from the core team and some of those issues were brought to the stakeholder team for their input.
The summary score sheets were handed out. It was presented to the team that the consultant ranked some
sections based measurable data presented in TM9. Any subjective scoring ranking was not completed by
CH2Mhil1. It also was presented that the W8DOT/FHW A teams only scored a limited amount of sections
based on their expertise and deferred a majority of scoring to the City. Transit scored only one section and City
staff also scored those sections. The City submitted the majority of the scores. The city staff incorporated the
stakeholder team scores into their scoring by interpolating their scores into the 1 - 5 method. In some cases the
stakeholder scores did not match the city staff recommendation, those scores were negotiated in average. In a
few cases some of the scores changed based on other additional knowledge outside of the stakeholder team.
Maryanne stated that at any time the stakeholder team can contact her and those scores would be presented as
scored by the stakeholders, staffteams, and Maryanne.
So. where are we now?
The stakeholder team previously scored 15 options and after the scoring was compiled, five (5) options
stood out as potential solutions recoment at the next level of screening. Ranked from highest to lowest,
the following alternatives remain viable:
. J5 (Bridge crossing 15 at 8 324th 8t.)
. 12 (New interchange at 15 and S. 296th St connecting to SR 509)
. C2Vl (Modification of the interchange at 8 320th 8t. that includes new ramp locations at 8 31th)
. H4 (Large one way couplet that uses S 316th St. and S 324th St.
. C2V2 (Similar to the C2Vl option with addition of a tunnel ramp sections at 8 324th 8t.
Discussion:
(1) S 312th 8t Issues and concerns:
Maryanne presented the local options recommended to move forward tentatively by the core team. The core
team endorses those recommendations. Discussion of some of the decisions made from the core team meeting
followed. The local option D5 which is a bridge crossing 15 at S. 3 12th St was represented as a local option to
measure how effective the solution is to the traffic impacts at 8. 320th 8t and 15 and is a currently adopted
comprehensive plan element. Maryanne stated that this element would go back in the 2030 traffic model as an
element of no build based upon the scoring of the options and traffic elements it provides. No further analysis
was needed trom the data presented and it is an adopted comprehensive plan element. This direction was
advised by the WSDOT and FHW A as this is a comprehensive plan element and belongs in the planned
projects of the comprehensive plan that is currently adopted.
The team members voiced their oppositions to considering the bridge crossing 15 at S. 312th 8t option D5 a
"done deal". Staff explained to the team that removing the S 312th St option D5 is not a condition that can be
considered as part of this traffic study. It is a requirement of the study to prove all local options have been
evaluated and do not meet the purpose and need before we evaluate a modified interchange option and a new
interchange (in that order). Staff explained that it is not within the scope of this project to remove a
comprehensive plan element that has been formally adopted by city council. It is required as part of this study to
keep it in the no build 2030 model and it was evaluated separately to its efficiency against other options.
Maryanne advised the team that the members who have an issue with this and a concern could voice their
concems and she would report this to the LUTC at the update of the project status planned for November 15th,
2004.
Maryanne took a pole of the room on those who are strongly opposed to a bridge crossing 15 at S 312th St. 10 of
the 12 members voiced that they are strongly opposed. Maryanne stated that they should write up that
opposition so that she may present those concerns.
(2) Option H4 (ONE-WAY ring road utilizing S 316111 S1. and S. 324111 S1.)
Maryanne presented outstanding issues from the core team that needed a resolution. The current contract
provides for (3) options to move forward for further analysis, where as H4 has been a controversial option
among many reviewers and scoring parties. Maryanne polled the voting members on this option H4 moving
forward for further analysis. 6 of the 10 voting members approve of this option moving forward.
Option H4 as represented in TM7 was shown that it could be analyzed clock wise and counter clockwise.
Previously stakeholder members wanted to see this option in the reverse as presented in the drawings as the
clockwise travel pattern.
Maryanne stated that the current clockwise travel pattern is all right turns. In the counterclockwise travel
pattern as typically recognized by people is all lefts. Left turns typically take more green time out of a signal
cycle. The staff traffic engineers' preference is clockwise. Mark SaWyer of the WSDOT mentioned that
clockwise benefits the internal circle and the reverse travel pattern benefits the external traffic.
The question was raised by the team as to how they would know what the traffic does if it is not analyzed in
both directions. Staff responded that if one direction is chosen now and if it moves forward as a preferred
alternative, that alternative most likely would be analyzed in many different variations.
Maryanne took a poll of the voting members and 6 ofthe 10 members chose clockwise.
(3) Options C2Vl and C2V2 issues and concerns:
Maryanne presented information regarding the scoring of the modified interchange scoring were as
C2Vl (Modification of the interchange at S 320th S1. that includes new ramp locations at S 312lh)
and
C2V2 (Similar to the C2Vl option with addition of a tunnel ramp sections at S 324111 S1.
Were within the (5) options ranked the highest by the stakeholder team and were both scored number #1 out of
all of the scoring at 3.1 in the combined scores.
The stakeholders voiced their concern and opposition over the "new interchange" at S 3 12th S1. and felt that
D2V2 with a location at S 324111 St and with a score of 3.0 should replace the C2V2 option to be analyzed. Staff
commented on previous concern by Weyerhaeuser connecting traffic links in the Corporate Head Quarters
Facility. Team members commented that Jan was not in attendance at this meeting to incorporate any concerns.
(4) New Interchanges:
Team members questioned what happened to the 12 option as previously chosen by the stakeholder team. Staff
explained the no build score was 2.7 and all but one option in the new interchange section scored below the no
build. The J5 option for a new interchange at S 336111 S1. scored 1/10 of a decimal place over no build with a
score of 2.8.
Staff further explained that in the diagrams for 12 within TM9 it shows that this option for a new interchange at
15 and S 2961h St connecting to SR 509 showed a substantial amount of traffic benefit reduction at 15 and S
272nd St with 0 to 10 vehicle reduction per hour at the interchange of S 320th St and various ramp locations.
Ken Miller asked to repeat the purpose and need statement for this project and it is copied below.
In order to enhance access to and circulation within the City Center, the City of Federal Way seeks to
improve safety and reduce congestion on the transportation network.
Staff further explained that the objective in this study is to first prove that local improvements will not meet
the needs, then evaluation of modified improvements will not meet the need, then we can move on to a new
interchange location alternative. The interchanges scored lower than no build (do nothing) and one did
.only score 1/10th of a decimal place. In all cases the new interchanges did not score as well as the local
options and the modified interchange locations. No recommendation was made move a new interchange
forward.
There was one question in the meeting relating to how the scores are tabulated. Staff responded as the WSDOT
column and the City column are shown in the spreadsheets and they are cumulative scores, where WSDOT did
not score sections they assumed the City scores.
The following comments were written up from the meeting to include in the meeting minutes
documenting the concerns ofthe S 312th St Comprehensive Plan Element that cannot be eliminated from
this project study as an adopted Comprehensive Plan Element. The following documentation of
concerns will be provided to the LUTC on November the 15th.

Subject: CCAS Stakeholders and S. 312 Street
Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2004 15:55:21 -0700
Dear Maryanne:
As per our discussion at this aftemoon's meeting, I would like you to pass
on the following comments when you next report to the lUTe.
Many of the options we have been reviewing indude either a bridge or an
interchange at 1-5 and S. 312th Street. I would like to go on record to
express my opposition to a bridge crossing 1-5 at S. 312th Street or a new
freeway interchange at S. 312th Street and 1-5. (I also am opposed to the
S. 312th Street Bridge in the Oty's Camp Plan. I will address that during
the next phase of Comp Plan amendments.)
I have the following reasons for my opposition:
1. It would be necessary to widen S. 312th Street through Steel Lake Park
to at least three lanes, if not four. Either modification would negatively
impact both the Massengale Ball field on the north side of S. 312th Street
and 28th Avenue South and the Skate Park at the South side of S. 312th
Street and 28th Avenue South.
2. The heavy traffic resulting from either of the options would negatively
impact pedestrian safety at the crossing between the two parts of the parle
3. There are wetlands at 28th Avenue South and S. 312th, as well at the
westem boundary of the park on the South side of S. 312th Street. Buffer
requirements would made roadway construction diffiaJlt, if not impossible
to do at a reasonable cost.
4. We now have a pair of two lane streets at the intersection of 28th
Avenue and 312th. The added traffic because of the 1-5 exit at 312th, plus
HaV traffic heading north from 317th on 28th Avenue South, would negatively
change the character of the neighborhood.
5. The tremendous cost of land acquisition and construction may not warrant
the value received in terms of traffic advantages and Quality of life.
Thank you for passing on these thoughts to LUTe.

Maryanne,
I hate to be an "add me too" person, but I found David's list of reasons for why our City
should hesitate to build the 312th bridge to be nicely stated. He does not fly off the handle,
but instead offers strong, rational, and I think compelling reasons for us to go on record as
opposing this concept.

Per our discussion at the October 13, 2004, City Center Access Stakeholders meeting, I want to be induded in the voice opposing
any crossing of 1-5 at south 312111 Street. When that option was placed in the Comprehensive Plan. it was merely a vision. Our
unscientific work as stakeholders has discovered how unrealistic such a crossing would be in reality.
For South 312111 Street to be effective as an arterial street, it would need to be widened to 3 or 4 lanes, preferably 4. Where would
those lanes go? Through the wonderful new skate park? Through Steel Lake Park and the ballfields? An overcrossing would have
to begin at 23rd Avenue South and would be very disruptive to homes and the park for all of eternity. Such a plan is impractical and
expensive, more expensive than other options in my opinion. In order to preserve safety for pedestrians crossing between the
parks, a pedestrian overpass or tunnel would have to be built. Steel Lake Park is a jewel in Federal Way and must be preserved,
not compromised, for the greater good of all Federal Way Citizens.
I do support a change in the Comprehensive Plan vision to remove the overcrossing at South 312111 Street.
I think I need to be on the Planning Commission! (Oh, my god! Did I say that? 19 months. I cannot do another thing for 19 more
months! Many of my current obligations will end in 19 months. Did I say I was counting?)

October 28, 2004
Hello Maryanne and others who may read these words.
Thank you and the City of Federal Way for permitting me to serve on the stakeholder's committee for our ongoing traffic study, and
additionally suggesting attendance at core meetings and comments for related matters. This communication is submitted in support
of those deliberations
The "issue" of 312 was originally dispatched by Hope Elder who early in our meetings suggested that earlier Councils had been told
312 would not become part of the freeway system. These were not Mrs. Elder's exact words, but my interpretation of them.
Essentially, Hot places would get cold first!
So is the vision (of the 20 year comprehensive plan) to become reality? And should we really be spending a lot of money on traffic
studies assuming a "what if' was an "is"?
Options for 312: (A) No nothing, (B) Bridge over 1-5 connecting East and West. (C) Freeway access essentially creating a 312th exit
and access point. (0) [unlikely] Possible 1-5 access from 312 or city core access from freeway.
Resulting in: (a) neighborhood peace and an unimpacted Steel lake Park (SlP). (b) Significant increase in local traffic (1000 cars
an hour amounts to sixteen movements a minute - there goes the neighborhood!) (c) Huge impact, requiring extensive mitigation.
(d) Somewhat less impact. but extensive mitigation still required.
Mitigation?: (1) Tunnel (high water table prevents). (2) Flyways (Bridges) Noise, unsightly, dangerous, (3) More lanes (kills the
park). Summarÿ: What mitigation!
So, yes, Maryanne, this question should be addressed now rather than later.
Please permit the following mini-rant Please refer to TM 6 graphic F-4, Also the eliminated options text in TM-7 (Draft) pg 27.
Please permit me the opportunity to address the reasons for elimination of my proposed ring road. My position is that there were
and remain huge differences in my original proposal that the consultant's work does not acknowledge and that as a result the wrong
local options were carried forward to second level screening. Before beginning, a short tutorial as to where I'm coming from.
In my opinion, this isn't rocket science. If you have a street that is packed the only option is to provide alternative options -
essentially, divide - the clients will use options most efficiently. Whether or not clients are city core bound visitors or commuters just
passing through, both parties would be best served by a road system that permits smoother flows and in this case that means the
only way to take traffic off 320 is to put it somewhere else. The focus of the city core user are the shopping options in and around
320th whereas the commuter user's focus is a freeway on or off ramp and the quickest way to transit the areas in which they have
no interest
For many of the West of Pacific Highway South (PHS) citizens my ring road suggestion of March 3, 2004 was the local oDtion that
deserved serious study and in my opinion today, still deserves serious study - especially in light of the options that did move forward.
My suggestion was the ring road and the only missing link was the 14th avenue connector (which was later learned to be a 20 year
growth plan freature similar to 312th). 1-5 egress at 312 would be nice, and 1-5 access at 324 would have been nice but both not
entirely necessary.
So lets pick apart what TM 7 (Pg 27) said about my eliminated option:
(1) Variations of the option are carried forward, therefore this option was deemed duplicative. [Yes, the nonessential 312 and 324
options to the freeway are carried forward, but no option carried forward correctly would have accomplished the task of reducing
traffic in the 320th area. One option made 320 a one way street and the option that suggested 317 as a one way street ignores the
fact that 312 is a heavy carrier of east and west bound western city citizens bound for the freeway ramp on 320th. A key element of
my proposal is the intent to move westem residents as quickly as possible from the intersection of PHS and 312 to a freeway on/off
ramp and Q[ the city center. A one way loop at 317 is of marginal help.]
(2) Results in partial interchanges. which is against WSDOT and FHWA policy. (Ture, but interchanges are not local options]
(3) One way couplet is presented elsewhere. (Discussed in 1 above.]
(4) Does not meet minimum interchange spacing requirements. (Similar to 2 above]
(5) Impacts to transit system stops, operation and circulation. (Well EXCUSE ME! Should the transit "tail" wag the city "Dog"?
Actually, I believe the F-4 proposal has better transit impact than the 317 proposal carried forward! But the thought that transit's
3000 daily commuters (1200 vehides at the new transit center abuilding and 900 at the existing King County location plus walk ons)
should adversely impact the 30,000 who leave town daily - well it leaves a bitter taste. I will acknowledge my numbers are soft and
that there are serious concerns. But it does seem to me that wider streets going in the same direction can only benefit transit.
Faster flow with fewer "deadman" lanes and room to pass slower busses offsetting pedestrian difficulty in accessing pickup points if
they are on the wrong side of the street]
So in summary, I'm not very happy about the treatment afforded my F-4 suggestion. And if it comes to pass the 312 does become a
major through way, suspected is that my disappointment level will only raise as it is questioned if my proposals would have mitigated
somewhat the impact to SlP and the neighborhood. (Remember that my original proposal was for only a southbound 1-5 offramp
under SlP exiting the west side.]
In a slightly related matters, I would like to express my disappointment that the freeway access proposals from Dash Point Road and
336th streets did so poorly. It is presumed the Dash Point 1-5 traffic accesses 1-5 via 272 but it is also presumed some of that traffic
ends up traveling through the city center and some may actually drive to 272 to access city core businesses at the 1-5/320th
intersection rather than driving PHS to the city core. As for 336 an intersection here would remove some 320 traffic and potentially
quite a bit if the new church's impact were rolled into the equations.
So MaryAnne, in closing I share the frustration of the stakeholder who sees little benefit from these studies when the focus shifts
away from keeping commuters out of town to taking somewhat better care of the traffic already there. And the cost of the C2
proposal will boggle the mind. If Auburn can't get a decent exit to its mall from highway 18, just where will our broke State find the
money to do anything for us? And I really do resent my essentially local option being "canned" because of the 1-5 interface issues
and substitute proposals that do not address the core problem - getting through traffic out of the immediate city core so citizens can
actually use 320 as a local street for shopping.
Thank you for your attention.
Geoffrey Kelly
[And a reminder that I do not use 1-5 for commuting, living and working in Federal Way]

Dear Ms. Zukowski:
Following the last meeting of the Federal Way City Center Access Study on October 19,2004,
staff from Sound Transit, King County Metro Transit, and Pierce Transit met to discuss the
implications of the alternatives selected for Level 3 evaluation. Our discussions focused on
Alternative H4, which would create a one-way loop operating eastbound on South 316th Street.,
southbound on 23rd Avenue South, westbound on South 324th Street, and northbound on 11th
Place South. We would like to offer the following comments as part of the support team staff
report:
Essential Transit-Supportive Chan£!'es to Alternative H4
Throughout, our analysis assumes that two modifications to Alternative H4 will be adopted.
Without these adjustments, transit and park-and-ride garage operations would be dramatically
affected in negative ways.
Maryanne Zukowski
November 9, 2004

.
21st Avenue South between South 316th and South 324th streets needs to be constructed
so that transit routes and park-and-ride garage traffic will be able to access the transit
center; and
.
The existing traffic signal on S. 320th St at 25th Avenue South needs to be retained.
When the new transit center opens in 2006, King County Metro Transit plans to operate
both Route 174 and Route 194 between the new transit center and the existing Federal
Way park-and-ride Jot. These two routes will provide a continued midday transit
connection for commuters who park at the Federal Way park-and-ride lot. The potential
elimination of this signal wouJdjeopardize this planned midday connection by forcing
both of these routes to operate a time-consuming routing around Sea- Tac Mall as the only
way to return to the transit center.
General Comments about Alternative H4
1. The one-way couplet would require a number of King County Metro Transit and Pierce
Transit routes to operate on circuitous routing to and ftom the Federal Way Trdnsit Center
now under construction at 23rd Avenue South and South 317th Street. Eight routes would be
potentially affected, including routes 174. 181, 182, 187, 194,402,500, and 501. In the case
of Metro service, the longer running times would require at least seven additional buses just
to maintain current service levels on five different routes. Their estimated annual cost would
be approximately 33,500 service hours or about $2.7 million annually. Given the CUITent and
projected constraints on Metro resources, this incremental operating cost would have to come
out of existing service hours in the Federal Way area or elsewhere in South King County
(that is, existing service would have to be decreased by this amount ifno additional resources
were available to cover the increased operating costs).
2. The one-way couplet would adversely affect access into and out ohhe park-and-ride garage
under construction as part of Sound Transit's Federal Way Community Connections project,
since South 316th Street and 23rd Avenue South would become one-way arterials. South
316th Street will provide the main access to and from the garage. The effects of diverting
traffic to and from the garage during peak hours should be included in the Level 3 evaluation
of Alternative H4,
3. One-way transit operation on large superblocks would discourage use of transit in the Federal
Way City Center area in a variety of ways:
.
Walk distances to between bus stops and several major activity centers would increase.
The Alternative H4 couplet would worsen the transit access to Sea- Tac Mall by requiring
some routes to operate on different streets;
Maryanne Zukowski
November 9, 2004
Page Three
.
Bus travel times through the Center City area would increase substantially; and
.
Couplet operation also will make bus service more complex to understand. For example,
in some instances. a bus route would serve the same bus stop when going into and when
leaving Federal Way. When this happens, customers tend to get confused and boa~d
buses going in the opposite direction from their desire.
Ultimately, confusing and circuitous route design leads to decreased transit ridership, and is
counter to the city's express desire to reduce aulo-dependence: in the city center area.
4. The impact of one-way operation on 23rd Avenue South on the planned signal at 23rd
Avenue South and South 317th Street should be evaluated. The main transit access for both
regional and local buses will be through this intersection. A lengthened green phase favoring
southbound traffic movements on 23rd Avenue South could potentially delay buses in and
out of the transit center and lengthen transit operating times.
5. The construction of the park-and-ride garage does not relieve the need for the exis6ng
Federal Way park-and-ride to continue operations and provide parking capacity into the
future. The planning for the park-and-ride garage, including extensive discussions among
staff of the City of Federal Way, the three transit agencies, and the Washington State
Department of Transportation, assumed continued operation of the Fcderal Way park-and-
ride, Decisions on long-range changes to transportation facilities serving the city center need
to take into account the ramifications for future operation of both park-and-ride facilities.
Conclusions
In summary, our concerns with Alternative H4 include circuitous foutings, higher operating costs
to provide the same levels of service, hard-to-understand foutings for transit customers, and loss
of two-way access to potential destinations in the Federal Way city center. This alternative could
also potentially compromise access to both park-and-ride facilities in the city center area.
King County Metro Transit staffhas prepared maps of the individual transit routings under the
2006 transit center operating plan and under the H4 couplet alternative, and is prepared to
discuss specifics about transit operations with members of the CH2M Hill consultant team. A set
of these maps is attached to this letter.
Sound Transit, King County Metro Transit and Pierce Transit share a common interest and
commitment in providing effective. high quality transit service that supports the transportation
and economic development objectives of the City of Federal Way by making transit a more

continued participation and collaboration on the support team of the Federal Way City Center
Access, Study to identify potential alternatives that address these objectives.

Documenting progress to date and establishing a schedule for completing the seven-year
update to the City's Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan and Development
Regulations
POLICY QUESTION
Should the City of Federal Way adopt a resolution documenting progress to date and establishing a
schedule for completing the seven-year update to the City's Growth Management Act Comprehensive
Plan and development regulations?
BACKGROUND
According to a schedule established by RCW 36. 70A.130( 4), each city and county in Washington
must take action to review and, if needed, revise its comprehensive plan and development regulations
to ensure they comply with the Growth Management Act (GMA). The schedule for the City of
F~deral Way's update is December 1,2004. The intent of the update is for a city to review its
comprehensive plan and development regulations to ensure that the plan and regulations comply with
the key requirements made to the GMA between 1995 and 2001.
The update process includes four basic steps:
1.
Establish a public participation program that identifies procedures and schedules for the review,
evaluation, and possible review process;
Review relevant plans and regulations;
Analyze whether revisions are needed;
Depending on the outcome of its review and analysis, each local government should adopt one
of the following options by December 1,2004:
(a) A resolution finding that, based on careful consideration of the facts and law, the
jurisdiction's comprehensive plan and development regulations comply with the GMA, and
the jurisdiction has met its update requirement under RCW 36.70A130(1);
(b) An amendment (or amendments) to the comprehensive plan and/or development
regulations, so that the plan and regulations comply with the GMA; or
(c) A combination of both items above.
2.
3.
4.
The State Department of Community Trade and Economic Development (CTED), the office
responsible for administering the GMA, recommends that a local government that has made
significant progress on its update progress, but is unable to adopt all needed revisions by their update
deadline, would be prudent in taking steps to demonstrate good faith and progress. In such cases, the
following interim steps are recommended:
(a) Adopt, by the update deadline, a resolution that documents local progress already made
and contains a schedule for completing the update;
(b) Continue moving ahead as quickly as possible to be in full compliance with the GMA.
These interim steps do not relieve a local government of its update requirements, nor does it necessarily
mean that a local government will be eligible for state grants and loans. "
C.
HISTORY OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS
The Federal Way City Council adopted its comprehensive plan on November 21, 1995, and adopted
development regulations and a zoning map implementing the plan on July 2, 1996; and subsequently
amended the comprehensive plan, land use map, and zoning map on December 23, 1998, September
14,2000, November 1,2001, March 27,2003, and July 20,2004. At the start of the City's major
update process in 2002, RCW 36.70A.130 had required that cities complete their five-year update no
later that September 1,2002. On April 2, 2002, Governor Locke signed Senate Bill (SB) 5841, which
amended RCW 36.70A.130 by changing the September 1, 2002, deadline for the 5-Year Update to
December 2004, and specified that subsequent updates shall occur every seven years rather than the
previous requirement of every five years, making it a seven-year update. Regardless of this change,
the City of Federal Way had committed to certain deadlines as a condition of receiving a GMA grant
from the state, and therefore, completed its major (seven-year) update in March 2003.
Subsequent to its seven-year update, the City has been made aware of new Hearings Boards decisions,
which may affect its compliance with the GMA as follows:
1.
Requirement to Adopt Reasonable Measures to ensure adequate capacity to accommodate
targets.
Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.215, the Buildable Lands section requires the implementation of a
review and evaluation program by King County and its cities. The Buildable Lands evaluation,
which covered the period 1996 through 2000, found that the City of Federal Way's target of
6,188 for 2001-2022 exceeded its capacity of 5,538 by 650 households. RCW 36.70A.215(I)(b)
requires that jurisdictions identify reasonable measures, other than adjusting urban growth areas,
to increase its capacity in order to accommodate its targets. Therefore, as a follow up to the
evaluation, cities or unincorporated areas that lack sufficient capacity to meet their Countywide
Planning Policy growth targets are required to adopt reasonable measures to remedy those
shortfalls. Reasonable measures include adoption of policies, regulations, incentives or other
actions as part of their comprehensive plan and development regulations update.
2.
Compliance with "bright line" rule as adopted by the Central Puget Sound Growth
Management Hearings Board (CPSGMHB).
Recent CPSGMHB decisions have adopted a "bright line" rule, which requires comprehensive
plans and development regulations within Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) to have densities no less
than four residential dwellings units per net acre. The board recognized a limited exception for
2
D.
E.
environmentally sensitive systems that are large in scope (e.g., watershed or drainage sub-basin),
where their structure and functions are complex and their rank order value is high. The City of
Federal Way has adopted zoning designations whose density vary from 24 units per acre in the
RM 2400 Multi-Family zoning district to one unit per five acres in the Suburban Estates zone.
Therefore, as a response to the CPSGMHB decision, the City must evaluate its low-density
zones.
COMPLIANCE WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT
As part of its seven-year update and subsequent annual updates, the City has complied with the
following steps:
1.
Established a public participation program that identifies procedures and schedules for the
review, evaluation, and possible review process. Pursuant to Article IX, Chapter 22 of the
Federal Way City Code (FWCC) and consistent with RCW 36.70A.130(2), the City's public
participation program consists of a docket program, notification of citizens interested in applying
for amendments to the comprehensive plan and development regulations; publishing notices in
the paper; and posting notices on all official notice boards.
Reviewed relevant plans and regulations. This occurred as part of the seven-year update and
subsequent annual updates.
Analyzed whether revisions are needed. The City made revision in March 2003 and July 2004
and will continue to update its comprehensive plan and development regulations annually to
comply with GMA requirements.
2.
3.
As part of the 2005 Update, the City will adopt a Concurrency Management System; adopt reasonable
measures to ensure that it has adequate capacity to accommodate its targets; and will research
compliance with the GMA of density lower than four dwelling units per net acre.
OPTIONS
The Committee has the following options:
1.
Move approval of the resolution documenting progress to date and establishing a schedule for
completing the seven-year update to the City's Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan
and development regulations to enactment on December 7, 2004.
Move denial of the resolution documenting progress to date and establishing a schedule for
completing the seven-year update to the City's Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan
and development regulations.
Move to amend the resolution documenting progress to date and establishing a schedule for
completing the seven-year update to the City's Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan
and development regulations for enactment on December 7,2004.
